Absolutely. I'll see you there.
[ Tex leaves straightaway, knowing it may take that long for her to walk the entire distance with her cane. She makes sure she has the keys tucked in her pocket before she goes, and when J gets to the shooting range, she's already there, opening the door. ]

[Well, unfortunately for Tex J is late and it takes about ten minutes for her to show up to their meeting.
When she's finally present she looks everything but rushed. Despite the creeping agitation and discomfort she appears calm as usual and completely unapologetic about her lateness. Her eyes moves to the cane Tex uses to support herself and sneers a little.]
What? They weren't able to fix you up after all? I tell you that the quality in this ship has really gone down after the literal crash.

[ She snorts. ]
Adrien set the cryo unit too low, so my injuries healed up, but I also lost muscle. It's not my favorite thing to think about.
[ She flexes her arm to show that under the spindly, skinny flesh of her body, she's starting to rebuild her strong muscles. ]
I'm getting there, though.

Oh, Dr. Adrien actually fucked up? Who would've guessed. [The time he spent in Medbay alone was enough to indicate that he took the job very seriously and would be careful enough to avoid amateur-ish mistakes like these. Well, guess no one's perfect.
Hearing about the fuck up only amused J despite poor Tex suffering from it.]
That's my girl. Now, sweetie. Would you mind letting us inside so that we can be finished with this?

With Carolina's help, York has killed his shadow. It feels hollow somehow, knowing that it attacked his friends, that it caused them pain in ways other than physical. He needs to know what it's done so he contacts them each in turn, and now is Tex's. He appears on the TAB screen looking tired but triumphant.
"Hey. Mine's dead -- did you get yours or do you need help finding it?"
"Hey. Mine's dead -- did you get yours or do you need help finding it?"
"Yeah..? Is he okay? He left my place and hasn't answered my messages.... I think mine attacked him, too, and I don't know what it said." He hesitates, then. "What did it say to you? We should probably talk about that."
"Yeah. Probably."
She doesn't know if the things the shadow had said were at all grounded in York's actual feelings toward her, but they had to have had some kind of origin, at least.
She frowns at him through the feed. It was so long ago now, it seems. She's been battling these things for days and a few comments by York's shadow seem insignificant now in many ways.
"Oh, it...it was saying how I ruined your life, caused the break-in to fail, and caused you to miss out on being with Carolina," she finally replies after finding the relevant memories in her files. "Among some other things. Personal attacks, mainly."

Yeah, he'll worry about tracking Wash down later. For now he listens to what Tex says about his shadow, eyebrows furrowing together unhappily. He knows where it came from, the feelings of regret he has surrounding the whole ordeal, but he doesn't blame Tex. Maybe part of him used to? He shakes his head.
"It was full of shit, then. I made my own choices. Besides, yours told me I was why the break in failed."
"It was full of shit, then. I made my own choices. Besides, yours told me I was why the break in failed."
"That's not true," she says immediately. "It's not. Don't blame yourself for the way things went." Obviously she has entertained feelings of irritation for his failure to open the lock at the outset of the outing, but there was a lot more standing in their way than one lock.
"So we're agreed, then... these things were just saying whatever they could to hurt us, we don't really think that?"
He knows what it told Carolina, has already talked to her about that. He just needs to find Wash, now. But there's something about Tex's manner right now...
"Are you okay? I mean, they're dead, and we're not listening to their crap so. Did somebody get hurt?"

There's someone rattling off the Mother of Invention's classification numbers on the network. I'm planning to make contact, I thought you'd want to know.
Texas, you've got a couple friends popping up on the network there. Just a heads up.
[ He's not sure if they're her friends or enemies, but he figures she might like to know. Plus, hey, potential information on what was going down on Team UNSC here. ]

[ Her update comes a bit slow, even if she doesn't hate Tex anymore it still isn't her first instinct to contact her first. ]
...it's him. It's Maine. From before he was implanted with Sigma. York is sure North is here, too.

Augusta and Bismark. A bit too similar and close together in timing to be a fluke. They're definitely working together and Augie seems awful familiar.
[ Nihlus doesn't know it yet, but it's Maine. ]
Should I direct them to you or would you prefer I keep them in the dark for now?

[ Hmm, so Carolina's likely one of them too, huh? Wow, this pack is getting big. ]
Well, good luck with the herding, Texas.
